The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has issued a statement on the viral photo of him with the President ofUnited States of America, Joe Biden.
He described as another propaganda brought on by the opposition to discredit his person.
The photo which generated tons of reactions, went viral on social media showing Tinubu and Biden in a closed-door meeting in the US.
Reacting to the viral photograph, the presidential hopeful, in a statement through APC PCC Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, described the publication as one of the latest misinformation by political oppositions.
Tinubu accused supporters and followers of the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi of circulating the photoshopped picture.
“A viral photograph showing Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and U.S President, Joe Biden in talks at the White House is the latest in the series of misinformation being dished out by the political opposition.
“We cannot just fathom the purpose of the mischief and the falsehood which emanated from the rabid followers of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
“The apparently photoshopped image surfaced Tuesday night, on the heels of news that Asiwaju will embark on a foreign trip this weekend,” Onanuga said.
Onanuga explained further that Tinubu was in Abuja and not in the US as of when the picture went viral. He, however, confirmed that the APC presidential candidate is scheduled to travel to the US over the weekend.
He said Tinubu was billed to travel to Bayelsa for a rally on Thursday.
“His first port of call will be Chatham House in London, where he will speak on his Action Plan for Nigeria,” he said.
